We use a bosonization approach to show that the momentum distribution $n_{\bf{k}}$ of normal Fermi systems with sufficiently singular interactions is analytic in the vicinity of the non-interacting Fermi surface. These include singular…
Surface plasma waves are collective oscillations of electrons that propagate along a metal-dielectric interface. In the last ten years, several groups have reproduced fundamental quantum optics experiments with surface plasmons. Observation…
We investigate the possibility that some nuclei show density distributions with a depletion in the center, a semi-bubble structure, by using a Hartree-Fock plus Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer approach. We separately study the proton, neutron and…
A simple and efficient method to treat nuclear pairing correlations within a simple Hartree-Fock--plus-BCS description is proposed and discussed. It relies on the fact that the intensity of pairing correlations depends crucially on level…
